Leaders of farmers’ organisations on Saturday announced to launch a special campaign across the state against the BJP-JJP coalition government from December 23 to mount pressure on its MLAs to withdraw their support from the government. They also announced to boycott and to oppose all programmes to be held by the state government or its ministers.

“It will be a jan aandolan and we will exert pressure on every MLA of the JJP and the BJP through public groups for withdrawing his/her support from the government. The campaign aims to topple the state government which is anti-farmer and anti-people,” said Vikas Sisar, president, Bhariya Kisan Sangharsh Samiti while addressing a news conference at Tikri border.

Prahlad Singh Bharukhera, state president, Haryana Kisan Manch, said the state government was making all efforts to fail the agitation by adopting oppressive policy under which farmers coming from other states to strengthen the ongoing agitation were being stopped in mid-way.

Joginder Nain, state president of the BKU, was also present on the occasion.
